OS SSD to new PC

[dudka]

If I have a desktop without an optical drive can I hook up a SSD to my laptop and download and OEM version of Windows 7 to the SSD then put it in the new desktop?

I'm just trying to install Windows 7 on a new desktop SSD without an optical drive.

My recommendation would be to create a bootable USB drive from your PC or Laptop and install on your new PC | SSD from the USB drive. Here is more details on how to set this up... http://arstechnica.com/business/news/2009/12/-the-usb-flash-drive.ars
